Re: Converting SRAM/Savestates between emulators

This seems like a classical example of asking for one thing when you need something else. What do you actually need Gest's tracing for? With a few tricks, BGB might be able to do what you want to do.

Re: SNES controller not working: Damaged Ricoh 5a22?

Well, on older boards the controllers are incompatible between regions, or so the internet claims. Those diodes are connected on one side to the clock line, and I suspect they might be in series, in effect turning the clock line into an open collector output, so the controller would need pull-up in ...

Re: Fixing ROMs for EMS 64 GB Smart Card USB

Windows has a security policy that all drivers have to be certified and digitally signed. Getting a driver certified costs money, however, and EMS obviously didn't feel like going to that trouble. I'm planning to write a guide on how to get the EMS driver working on both Window 7 and 8. Stay tuned.

Unlike Goomba, Gambatte can't run on a GBA, however.

Re: Game Boy Forum

So the NES gets this massive place full of dedicated, hardcore people and the Game Boy gets that tiny little forum... :!: No offense. Yeah. I haven't exactly promoted it, though. But yes, that is the state of affairs. Today's GB scene has everything else. People making music in LSDj . Cosmetic hard...

Re: Game Boy Forum

I've made a forum for the purpose, which is relatively low activity, but at least there's actually SOME activity.

Also, IRC users may want to drop by #gbdev on EFNet.

Re: Fixing ROMs for EMS 64 GB Smart Card USB

I'm out travelling and currently don't have access to my EMS 64M cartridge, so I can't confirm the following myself. (I can open the application and even drag and drop files onto the window, but without plugging in the cartridge, the interface is otherwise all greyed out.) But, Mottzilla's modified ...

Re: Tablet PC Settings Missing in Windows 7

I found that changing that registry value (even after logging out and in, or even rebooting) didn't fix the issue. After some more googling I found this tip. Run (win+R) and enter: shell:::{80F3F1D5-FECA-45F3-BC32-752C152E456E} This brings up tablet properties even without having a tablet. http://an...

Re: Tablet PC Settings Missing in Windows 7

This happen to me semi-regularly as well, and happened to me the other day. I wonder if one of the recent Windows updates is the culprit. My computer is not a tablet/touchscreen, but has Wacom tablet drivers installed.

Re: Money Output Circuit?

Order a Bitcoin mining ASIC and hope you get it delivered before the yield drops below the cost of the electricity used, or the Bitcoin market bubble bursts.

Re: In Game Text Editing

Ah! On GBC, there's a VRAM DMA function for copying data into VRAM. There's a bug/missing feature a in BGB where an access breakpoint doesn't trigger when the access is made by the DMA, and not by the CPU. Track writes to FF55 to see when the transfer starts. The other registers will tell you the me...

Re: In Game Text Editing

Access breakpoints are your friends. General procedure: Use a write type access breakpoint for a position or range in VRAM. This could be in tile or map memory depending on the routine. Figure out where that gets its data from and what it does. Sometimes you might need to do this in two steps, if th...

Re: A=440 vs. A=432 and Others

When I was searching for a mapping for a keyboard's 88 key's to Hz values, I came across a lot of controversy about A=432 it is the Spiritual Vibration or The Earth's frequency is 8Hz and it somehow connects to 432 and it can increase your energy. OK I'm talking out of my ass here but you get the p...

Re: Atalan Website is Down

As far as I can tell from here, the page is up, but the downloads on the examples page seem to be gone. But all of those seem to be in atalan_src.zip\src\test which is still there. Again, from here.
